From: Ming Lei <tom.leiming@xxxxxxxxx>
This patch sets scheduler policy of twl4030 irq thread
(twl4030_irq_thread) as SCHED_FIFO to speedup irq response
time, just like taken by kernel threaded irq in irq_thread
(kernel/irq/manage.c). Also higher priority than that of
threaded irq is taken to avoid preemption from twl4030
subchips's threaded irq handler, so pih irq disable time may
be decreased.
The pih irq is disabled in handle_twl4030_pih which may
wakeup twl4030 irq thread, and the pih irq will be enabled
again until complete of all sih irqs' handling in twl4030
irq thread.
Also for each one interrupt line of twl4030 subchip, only
two irq events can be buffered by twl4030(4.4.2.3 of TPS65950 TRM).
